Mathis, Johnny - Neither One Of Us (Wants To Be The First To Say Goodbye) Lyrics

It's sad to think we're not gonna make it
And it's gotten to the point where we just can't fake it
Oooh, for some ungodly reason we just won't let it die
I guess neither one of us
Wants to be the first to say goodbye

I keep wondering
What I'm gonna do with out'cha
And I guess you must be wondering that same thing too
So we go on, go on together living a lie
Because neither one of us
Wants to be the first to say goodbye

Ooooohhh, ev'rytime I find the nerve
Ev'rytime I find the nerve to say I'm leavin'
Oooh, memories, those old memories get in my way
Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh, Lord knows it's only me, oh, he knows it's only me
That I'm deceiving
Oooohhhhh, when it comes to sayin' goodbye
That's a simple word that I just cannot say

There can be no way, there can be no way
This can have a happy ending, no, no
So we just go on hurting and pretending
And convincing ourselves to give it just one more try
Because neither one of us
Wants to be the first to say
Neither one of us wants to be the first to say
Neither one of us wants to be the first to say
Fairwell my love, goodbye
